| Title: | Jos Journal of The English Language Vol. 3/No.1 |
| Authors: | Dooga, Jerome Terpase |

| Description: | Jos Journal of the English Language
(JJEL) is coming of age. For the very first
time in its young but illustrious history,
nearly 100 per cent of the contributions
assembled in this issue are on language:
from grammar, composition, meaning,
discourse studies, phonology and
phonotactics to the application of
language in the analysis of literary texts.
This has always been the goal, to focus on
language studies. The emergence of a
sister journal on oral and written literature
within the same space will further ease the
pressure to accommodate essays in this
journal that do not focus on language
studies.
In previous issues, we experienced a slow
response to the call for submissions. This
meant that we could not assemble enough
essays that met the journal's standards for
publication. However, when we were
close to the advertised publication date,
we experienced a flood of submissions,
exciting ones too. The effect was a delay
due to additional processing time to
accommodate more contributions.This is
also improving.
It seems too that contributors to the journal
h a v e a l s o i m p r o v e d i n t h e i r
communication, especially in responding
to comments from reviewers. Delays from
contributors often frustrate the efforts to
publish on schedule. We think that these
trends will only get better, enabling the
journal to provide a safe academic space
for sharing research findings on emerging
issues in the study of language. We are
committed to this cause and would do
whatever is needed to keep the light
shining. Our turn-around time is alsoreducing with each issue. So, we are
confident that the June 2021 issue will also
be ready for press soon, as we are already
receiving submissions.
Enjoy the array of exciting essays on offer |
